Once when I was in the stable to give food to my animals, I was thinking about the one who was going to be scarified at my midvinterblót. And this song came up. I always use it, when I do blod sacrificing at my blóts.
lyrics
Et dyr er slagtet,
vi skikken følger,
og indta’r kødet,
til ære for guder.
Når kredsen sluttes,
vor kraft er samlet,
og blótet styrkes,
med blod fra offerdyr.
For solen synker
og stiger igen,
og efter vinteren,
våren følger.
i like this version better than the original. The middle part has that aggression that makes the excellent balance with the beginning and ending of the song. owlobo
